Regarded as the first teenage supermodel, Twiggy was the face of Sixties London. As soon as she hit the scene in 1966, she was an instant icon. Possibly the first 'size zero' model, Lesley Hornby became known by her childhood nickname of Twiggy. Her high fashion mod style, created by Mary Quant, and short-haired androgynous look made tidal waves in the fashion world. She was also well known for drawing huge fake eyelashes under her bottom lashes. Twiggy, who was born in 1949, became a worldwide phenomenon when she landed in New York in 1967, and her 'look' still pervades the catwalks today.
